Notes

By multi-media Cuban-born artists Eduardo Ponjuán and René Francisco who work together according to similar poster found on http://fons.upv.es -
Figure's skirt is edged with a wooden ruler and outlined with rope forms;; her arms are painted and chalked to create a two-tone effect; white beads [?] divide her upper body and painted white marks [?] define her head scarf; a folding ruler forms one leg, while the other is a laced boot
The limp white figure suggests someone who is ill/dead from AIDS; the female figure, their nurse/carer
